E.L.F...

Thursday, 24 February 2011

This is from a recent(ish) order I made with E.L.F.

Now I love E.L.F firstly (most of) the products are amazing I have never really had any bother with them - apart from some of the nail varnishes. The brushes are great, good quality and soo cheap! And in my experiences with ordering with them I have never had any bother with delivery.

Here is what I bought...

Brushes

I bought the Mineral 4 piece bamboo brush set which is £15 but I had mine for £12 with the 20% off code a while ago.

First thought "WOW THESE ARE SO SOFT" I thought the studio brushes were soft but these are something else. All I did for a while was brush the mini kabuki brush over my face. It is rather mini though but suits what I use it for (mineral foundation). Would recommend these brushes to anyone and they come with a travel case.

I also bought the Lip defining brush as we all know it is only £1.50, does the job :) so I am pleased.

Mineral Makeup

Mineral foundation in light and Mineral concealer in light both £3.50. I wasn't sure if I would get on with these but I am actually surprised at the coverage you can get with these. For times when I just want a basic coverage I reach for this but when I need more coverage I put this over my liquid foundation as a setting powder. Same goes for the concealer. These are a great buy for the money.

Not really sure what to do with the blemish kit. I have watched numerous youtube videos and so far can gather its a setting powder that fights spots? Anyone have any light they can shed on this?

Lips

Mineral lipstick in Ripe Rose which goes on a little darker on the lips and is rather long lasting, will be in my makeup bag for a long time. I also bought natural nymph but there is sooo many swatches out there already. I'm not 100% on how I will wear it yet as it is rather light! Both were £3.50.

I wanted a lipliner for ages and this one in peachy took my fancy. It is such a lovely peachy (haha) colour which looks slighty more orange than the photo shows. It is such a nice colour I tend to wear it as a lipstick with some vaseline over the top. £3.

As I said before I think I had a 20% code for all of these as I never order things full price anymore.

Hi! I found your blog while searching for swatches of the mineral foundation. If you don't mind me asking, how would you describe your skin tone? I really want to try this but I'm not quite sure which shade to pick.
